Honey, I'm home! Here we have KM #132, German-occupied Belgium, 25 Centimes, Belgie-Belgique. One from that endless stream of crappy wartime, corroded, zinc coins. With one distinction -- this one is dated 1946.But...the Germans weren't occupying Belgium in 1946. Which is the point of my interest, but not the contest.   The contest is: 7 points for a 1947 occupied Belgium coin. 6 points for a match of this coin. 5 points for a match for country and year (occupied). 4 points for a WWII occupied country coin (includes Manchukuo, Moravia, etc.). 3 points for a 20th century occupied country coin (e.g, French Saarland) or coin of occupied Belgium of a previous century. |

I don't have any '47s from Belgium, but here is a 10 Centime from Belgium dated 1946 AD (like yours @arkie). My closest Belgian 25 Centime is dated 1943 so I think that this one here is worth more in this game.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Not really sure how many points this gets. Date is kind of hard to read, sorry. It's 1945.  |

Enjoying the responses. Providential that I was dumpster diving in the junk box earlier today.
Spence has the lead, by my count.

Hello, I think this is the closest coin that I have that would match the criteria, and the only zinc coin I have. I have other non zinc coins that may render me more points? Do the rules make it permissible to submit more than one coin? For now, until I receive confirmation. Here is my submission. 1943 Nederlands 25 cent coin   |

Good challenge, but it is another one for me to watch from afar. |

This is the best I can do. I have nothing from 1946 or '47 from Belgium. No one has posted a 1 Franc, so here goes: 1942  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

So, shall we wrap this up tonight, or wait until Saturday? Spence still has the lead.
